I have a factory remote start on my truck, as of now it will only let me start it twice. It runs for about ten minutes at a time. Can I get it to start more than twice?

Nothing wrong with it. The factory system only allows two to ten minute run cycles on the system. The only extra time is if you press lock and then start while the engine is running.
That will add ten more minutes from that time. So if you start it, let it run nine minutes and hit lock then start it will add an additional ten minutes from that point. You can do that twice.

No way to alter that in the programming either.
